Description

‘A great literary masterpiece’ A. N. Wilson
‘A genius … a fearless writer, who writes with reckless passion’ Margaret Drabble

John Cowper Powys’s epic Wolf Solent centres around the story of a young man returning to his roots in the West Country after ten years in London. Complex, romantic and humorous, it is peopled with memorable characters and filled with vivid, primitive descriptions of landscape. But beyond this powerful evocation of people and place, Wolf Solent is also a meditation on life and death, good and evil, body and soul, combining the earthy and everyday with the spiritual.

‘Wolf Solent is a stupendous and rather glorious book ? as beautiful and strange as an electric storm’ V. S. Pritchett
